Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on neighbours' living conditions

What decided it

The noise impact assessment, supported by proposed conditions including an acoustic fence and controls on patron numbers and amplified sound, demonstrated that the development would not materially harm neighbours' living conditions, and conditions could address the visual impact of materials on the road-facing elevation.
